Abstract

Vl. Meyer addressed me in a letter, in which he reported on a graphical method for dividing a circle into equal parts using a simple technique (see the article). Of course, theoretically this is not correct; it is impossible even establish the perspectivity of points on a circle and on any straight line in general otherwise than by placing the center of perspectivity on the circle itself. Mr. Meyer's method has no theoretical basis and can only be approximate in relation to a semicircle. This method can indeed be used at least in construction work, for example, when placing pillars and columns around the circumference of a circle.
